There was no need for Kang Yueran at the dock, so she took Hu Xiaocheng home.
She wrote three letters to Xu Jiushi, Mao Qiang and Mao Jian, saying that she needed able-bodied men and asked the three to help her find one as soon as possible.
The weather was no longer cold, so Kang Yueran took Hu Xiaocheng, Xiao Wuzi and Zheng Yuan and rode to Shengzhou.
They first found an inn to stay in. After resting for a night, Zheng Yuan took Kang Yueran to the shop he bought.
The shop was being renovated and was a mess everywhere. Kang Yueran took a look around and left.
Zheng Yuan and two of his assistants went to inform the owners of Shengzhou Kiln to discuss cooperation tomorrow.
Xiao Wuzi went to inquire about the situation of the six kilns, while Kang Yueran and Hu Xiaocheng strolled back to the inn.
"Miss Kang?"
Kang Yueran turned around and saw that it was Chai Shijing's second uncle, Lin Feng. "Second Master Lin!"
Lin Feng walked over quickly and said, "I thought I was seeing things. When did you come to Shengzhou? What's the matter with you?"
"I came here yesterday. I want to open a porcelain shop in Shengzhou and come to meet with the porcelain merchants in Shengzhou."
Lin Feng rolled his eyes and said enthusiastically, "Miss Kang, I haven't seen you for a long time. Come to my house and have a seat. We bought a house in Shengzhou, and my mother is also in Shengzhou."
"We should go and pay our respects to the old lady. Leave your address and I'll visit you this afternoon."
Lin Feng gave the address and repeatedly urged: "You must come in the afternoon. We are all waiting for you at home. You must come!"
"Okay, I will definitely go! Then I'll go first!" Turning around, Kang Yueran drooped his shoulders.
Hu Xiaocheng looked at the excited Lin Feng and whispered, "Miss, Mr. Lin is so enthusiastic, there must be something going on!"
"I see, and I have a rough idea of what it is."
Seeing that Kang Yueran knew what was going on, Hu Xiaocheng said no more.
Kang Yueran had heard about the Lin family's affairs a long time ago. Ever since they took over Luoyang Mountain, the two branches of the Lin family had been fighting for the management rights of Luoyang Mountain, and there had been a lot of unpleasantness. As a result, even at such an old age, Mrs. Lin had to spend most of the year in Shengzhou in person.
If Old Madam Lin hadn't stopped them, the Lin family would have come to her long ago.
After lunch, Kang Yueran went to the Lin family with gifts.
Lin Feng had already told everyone why she was coming, and all the Lin family members in Shengzhou were waiting for her in Old Madam Lin's yard.
After paying their respects, Madam Lin pointed to the seat next to her for Kang Yueran to sit. "Are you doing well in Anzhou? When are you going to the capital?"
"I'm fine. I've been a bit busy lately, so it'll take some time before I can go to the capital. How's the old lady doing?"
Mrs. Lin's face was full of fatigue, but she smiled and replied, "I'm fine too."
Lin Feng followed up with, "Mother is tired. She worries about us every day."
Madam Lin glared at Lin Feng, then turned to Kang Yueran and explained, "Every mother worries about her children and grandchildren. You don't have to worry about it!"
Lin Feng ignored Madam Lin's warning and directly expressed his thoughts, "Miss Kang, let's open a porcelain shop together."
Lin Dong's eldest son, Lin Zixuan, was anxious. "Second Uncle, you are in charge of Coal Hill now, so how can you have time to partner with Miss Kang? I have nothing to do, so I can..."
Madam Lin interrupted him, "Don't you also manage the honeycomb coal workshop?"
They didn't dare to refute Madam Lin's words, but they were all dissatisfied in their hearts.
The atmosphere suddenly became solemn.
Kang Yueran smiled and said, "Don't be so sad. The Lin family is a marquisate after all. We can't all become businessmen."
Lin Feng's son Lin Zijun whispered, "But life in the Marquis' Mansion is not easy." He never wanted to go back to the days when he had to calculate his monthly salary to make a living.
Madam Lin was very annoyed. "Did the Marquisate wrong you? Even in the past, your monthly salary could support a family for several years."
Lin Zijun lowered his head and complained in his heart, he was the eldest son of the marquis's family, why should he compare himself with the common people.
Kang Yueran pulled out a stack of papers from her sleeve and handed it to Madam Lin. "I haven't finished what I was saying just now. My master still has a batch of seeds called peanuts. You can reclaim wasteland and plant peanuts.
More and more people are eating stir-fried dishes now. Peanuts can be used to extract oil, which is more fragrant than soybean oil. Peanuts can be used in cooking, boiled, stir-fried, and deep-fried. Roasted and dried peanuts are a snack suitable for all ages. Peanuts can also be made into peanut butter and desserts.
Lin Feng asked: "Peanuts? I haven't even heard of them. Have you seen them? Can you do what you just said?"
Madam Lin raised the stack of papers in her hand and said, "Give me all the prescriptions!"
She looked at Kang Yueran, her face full of embarrassment, "I'm sorry to trouble you again."
"Seeds will go bad if left for too long, so you have to find someone to plant them." Kang Yueran is from the north and has always used peanut oil for cooking, so the sentence 'you have to find someone to plant them' is true.
Madam Lin moved her lips, looked at her children and grandchildren, and finally did not say anything to refuse. "Thank you for your trouble!"
"These recipes are very simple and cannot be kept secret, so please don't be polite, old lady."
Hearing that the secret couldn't be kept, the Lin family members became anxious. "It's not okay if we can't keep it secret. What if others plant it? What will happen to our business?"
"Second Uncle is right, Miss Kang, you have to think of a way."
Madam Lin was filled with shame and embarrassment. She slammed the table and said, "Crops are growing in the fields. How can we keep it secret?"
Kang Yueran quickly advised: "Don't be angry, old lady. There is something we can do."
Lin Feng was too busy trying to comfort his mother. "Tell me quickly, what's the solution?"
"The solution is simple. Since we can't keep it secret, we can just plant peanuts widely."
Lin Feng didn't understand, "What kind of method is this?"
